Thread Name: Children and religion
Subject: Children and religion
I recently had a visit from a Jehova's Witness, nothing unusual about that, but with him was a little girl of about five. As adults we have the opportunity to choose our religion or not choose it.We can also choose the religion that meets our requirements. Children in religious homes do not get this choice, the parents religion is rammed down their throats almost as soon as they can speak,these poor kids are brainwashed from an early age. I respect that children should be brought up to respect good and evil,but why should they not have a chance to choose or not to choose their religion when they are older and more fully understand the choices available to them.
